Each fall, All Things Go turns the DMV into a haven for music fans who want something more than your average festival. What started back in 2014 as a small indie-pop showcase at Union Market has grown into one of the East Coast’s most beloved gatherings — and in our opinion, 2025 is shaping up to be its best year yet.

Now celebrating its eleventh year, All Things Go is expanding into a full three-day format (September 26–28) at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD and Forest Hills Stadium in NYC. The lineup is stacked: Noah Kahan, Lucy Dacus, Doechii, Kesha, The Marías, Clairo, Role Model and more will take the stage, representing the festival’s signature mix of indie, pop, rock, hip-hop, and electronic.

What makes All Things Go special isn’t just the names on the poster — it’s the ethos. No overlapping sets. No influencer-driven chaos. Just one stage, a carefully curated lineup, and a community that thrives on inclusivity and representation. ATG has always championed female, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ artists, earning nicknames like “Gay-chella,” “All Things Gay,” and “Lesbopalooza” from fans who see it as one of the safest, most welcoming festivals out there. Add in thoughtful touches like water stations, actual bathrooms, seating, and curated food vendors, and you’ve got a festival that truly prioritizes the fan experience.

From its roots with breakout acts like Tove Lo and Future Islands to past performances from Billie Eilish, Lorde, Lana Del Rey, Hozier, and Charli XCX, All Things Go has built a reputation for spotlighting the artists shaping culture right now. This year feels like a culmination — a lineup that balances chart-toppers with beloved indie staples, creating a weekend that feels unmissable.
